SNOW FORTY FEET DEEP.

"That was u particularly hard winter,
and the snow was forty feet deep in places
where it had drifted over the canyon. But
we didn't suffer; provisions were plenty,
there was lots Of game, and when we
couldn't get water we got snow and melt
ed it, Our camp at Hams fork was
pitched in q sheltered valley and we got
all the elk, antelope and bear we could
shoot
Late in the spring, when the snow had
melted, we struck camp and started
straight up tho mountain about forty
miles. Right up on the top of the noun
tain we found a large lake fed by q living
spring chuck full of trout that beat any
thing in the world. Tho smallest OF them

brigham was all tho time spying out
the lay Of the land, and as he looked from
the top of the mountain over the level
stretch Of desert nearly fifty miles away,
he said: The promised land is in sight. ,
We made our way down the mountain
without any accident worth mentioning
and when we struck the water now known
as Salt Lake Brigham swallowed mouth
full and named it the Great Salt Lake.
Then we struck out about six miles to the

suddenly in tho midst Of the valley and
shouted; This is the spot; this is Che place

Preparing ieN Make Clean sweep in
the Spring

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.l
WILLIAMSBURG, Va, Feb. l, 1887.
What promises to be one of the most
exciting political fights that has taken
place on the Peninsula for years will
he that which comes off next spring
for county officers. The first indica-
tons that any move of a political cha
racter was on foot was the gathering of
Mahoneite politicians Of both cOlorS at
the residence of DIR. Wise on Satur-
day, when it was decided that county
convention should be held at Kelton
station, the time of meeting to be de-
cided by Il committee appointed for
that purpose. There was some slight
opposition to the motion for calling
Convention, but it did not amount
to much, it having been decided
long before the meeting that cOnven-
ton muqt be called, as it was the only
way in which the present incumbents
could be gotten rid Of Rumor has it,
and many believe it, that the Wise
meeting went so far rs to name a full
slate, with the leading colored merchant
of the town for the Office of treasurer.
The action OF the Republican commit
tee is the talk of the town, and the cleo
ton is the subject of conversation at
the hotels and other places of resort, the
Republicans Boosting that this time they
intend to have the county government,
and will spend money if they can get
it to carry their ticket. Butthe incum-
bents are not easily frightened, and
seem determined to hold the fort.
City-Sergeant T. NJ. Ware arrived i'll

A Pittsburgh special says: Jacl
Hovey, a noted and eccentric character
was found dead to-day in his miserable
rooms in Pusey's court. Hovey was
born in Dublin about seventy years ago
came to America in 1S47, and was EN-.
ployed for a long time as Waterman fol
boats lying at the Monongahela wharf
Afterwards he gathered junk and sold
it. He was very misery, and 10y biz
economy and shrewd Irish ways sue.
ceeded IN amassing O fortune of over
$40,0d0.
Papers and books found in his room
TO- day disclosed that he had IS, 900 cash
deposited in the Union National Bank,
and about S20,000 in cash and notes in
Melons Bank. He also held many
valuable stocks and held the notes OF
several prominent business firms.
Hoyey could neither read nor write,
and, while known to nearly every per-
son in Pittsburgh, few persons knew
that he was wealthy. He did his own
cooking and sometimes begged his food.
No will has yet been found.
.Hoyey was the uncle OF Captain Mike
Bradford, the well-known guard, who
has saved so many lives at Atlantic City,
and it is believed Mike and his bro
Tiers will come in for good sia7s Of
the fortune.

A Cleveland (OhiO) telegram says:
Mrs Estelle Potter Ashley, who died
suddenly here Saturday night, was a
familiar figure on the American stage
for a long period, her dcbW in Phila-
delphia, the home of her childhood,
dating back fifty years or more. Early
in the forties John S. Potter, her first
husband, managed theatre here, and
his wife, then Il handsome woman of
about twenty. was the leading lady of
his company. Subsequently he built
a theatre, and in 1913 built another,
which was Thespian temple
of considerable pretensions for
those days. The last named was burned
and he was financially ruined Mrs.
Potter then left this city, and during
the next twenty years was leading lady
III stock companies of various impor-
tant cities. In 1872 she returned here
as first old woman of John A. Ellsler's
Academy Of-Music company, of which
Efiie Elsler and Laura Don were also
members. She continued in Mr. Ellis
ler's company after he built and occu-
pied the Euclid-Avenue Opera-House
until the combination system came in
vogue, afterward travelling with sundry
companies until she permanently re-
tired. In her later years she kept r
modest confectionery store, patronized
mostly 10y children, and made and
rented theatrical costumes.

The Catholic clergy of this diocese

be sung at any church service. Al
operate music, and many popular com
positions whose scores have beenadapted

A decision in this matter has been eX-
pected from the Archbishop for several
weeks past, and musical circles have
been on tiptoe for the final word. The
decision will materially affect the
services Of a great number of churches
All the brilliant overtures, sweet inter
ludes, and grand choruses that have be-
come part and parcel of the Church
service will be dropped, and the splen-
didly-trained choirs that for years have
filed the sacred edifices with the lovely
melodies and grand harmonies of the

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.

correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch
ONANCoCK, January 81, 1887.
In spite of rainy weather q large
crowd of farmers and fruit-growers as
sembled in the Town Hall here last Sat
urday and organized the Truckers
and Fr,nt-Growers' Association OF
Accomack. A constitution and by
laws were adopted, and the fol-
lowing officers elected for the ensuing
year: Edward l.. East, president;
George w. McMath, secretary; DIR. O..
Il. Finney, treasurer.
The objects OF the Association are TO
improve and promote thesagricultural
and fIuit-growing interests Of the coun-
ty, and protect the farmers from dis
elimination on the part Of railroad and
steamboat lines.
A lively discussion took place, in
which IT was alleged that last year the
railroad company charged the people of
this section eighteen cents more per
barrel for carrying potatoes and other
produce to New York than il charged
the people around Norfolk, simply be-
canse at Norfolk there was competition
with other lines. It was also brought
out during the discussion that straw
bery-growers in this section lost last
season half their crates, which they
claim were lost by the carelessness Of
the railroad officials or che commission
merchants.
Resolutions were adopted looking TO
the establishment Of potato exchange
At Onancock, or some other convenient
place on the peninsula, where potatoes.
the staple product of this region, may
he sold without the Intervention of the
pofato-dummers who swarm here In
great crowds during the potato season.
The number in attendance on the
first meeting and the lively interest
manifested surpassed the expectations
Of the most sanguine, and the Associa-
ton promises to he q potent factor in
the development OF the agricultural re-
sources Of this section. The regular
meeting viii be held once month, and
active efforts viii be made 10 awaken
interest in the Organization. The next
meeting will be held at the Eastern
Shore Agricultural FAIRGROUNDS on
the lest Saturday in February.
